VIRTUE OR HYPOCRISY?

O ye who call themselves human,
what are you doing to this world.
where are you taking this Earth,
to what morals are you demanding
her slaughter?

O believers of God,
why are you obliterating His teachings,
Why have you made Him
just a name,
an excuse for crime,
instead of a figure of faith!

What had been a Society
of give and take,
of producers and consumers,
of idols and believers,
is now a slum
of martyrs and scavengers,
of take and grab,
of unreasonable philosophers
and un-understanding followers.

Poor are given alms they don't deserve,
food they couldn't have earned for themselves,
Corrupt are being saluted
and Industrialists are being charged!

This is the progressive society
you flaunt about???

This place where dog-eat-dog
is a natural tendency,
where sweet poison is honoured
but harsh-truth is kicked aside,

where cowardice is called virtue
and strength is called hooliganism.

Where fighters are crushed
and conversationalists are worshipped,

Where drawing room gossips are told proudly
but battlefield wars are seen to be dirty.

Where happiness is considered a sin
and misery is sympathized with.

Virtue?
Call yourself virtuous, O'barbarian!

Is virtue un-heeding the truth?
Is virtue disrespecting strength?
Is virtue sympathising with the undeserving
and punishing the ability?

Are these your codes, your morals?
Are these the objects  of pride you live by?

If this is virtue,
then come out in the open with it.
Name it for what it is!
Don't hide behind the mask of hypocrisy
and call it sacrifice!

Call it murder
for O'murderers,
know your rightful place
for it is not in the palaces
as you pretend,
it is the sewers
you all hate!
